Two weeks ago I packed some of my stuff and travelled to Valencia with my friend. The aim was to visit our friend from the university in Poland., as well as to explore the city, of course. Frankly speaking, I wasn't very optimistic with the whole trip, as the weather was getting worse and many of my spanish friends told me that there is nothing particularly interesting in Valencia. Oh, how wrong they were. I was personally pleasantly suprised by the city. But hey, no more useless words, let's see the pictures! I divided my so-called report into two different parts, as I didn't want to make

a massive, chaotic post (one way or another, there will be a bunch of photos in each one).

We arrived on Friday evening but since we were quite tired, we just took a walk in the neighbourhood, wandering mostly by the Turia river. The next day morning we took city bikes and rode to the beach.

After the whole day of walking and riding a bike, we decided to stop by some quiet place and order a coffee, talk a little and enjoy the atmosphere of the city. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be like this. The inhabitants of Valencia decided to go on strike (nothing new, tbh) against liquidating a local public tv.

They were walking through the main streets of the city centre with some transparents, shouting out different mottos (in valenciano dialect!) and generally causing confusion. Some of them were really determined to defend their rights, for others it was just an excuse to meet with friends and an interesting way to vary Saturday's evening.
